Stackhouse said on his weekly radio show Wednesday in Dallas that he does not think Scott is the best coach or guy to deal with because of the things he heard from other players.

Stackhouse said he was ready to kick Scott's --- during a game after Scott told him to talk with him "after he gets a ring.'' Before the Hornets' shootaround Friday morning at American Airlines Center, Scott said Stackhouse's comments are no big deal.

"You see me laughing about it right,'' Scott said. "I don't think about it at all. Yes, it's no big deal. I had a good laugh this morning and it made me feel pretty good.''
